All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system. Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement. The [School Sport and Activity Action Plan](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-sport-and-activity-action-plan) set out the government’s commitment to ensuring that children and young people have access to at least 60 minutes of sport and physical activity per day, with a recommendation of 30 minutes of this delivered during the school day (in line with the [Chief Medical Officers guidelines](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/physical-activity-guidelines-uk-chief-medical-officers-report) which recommend an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week). The PE and sport premium helps us to achieve this aim, providing primary schools nationally with £320m of government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools so that we have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for our pupils. You can see below how we are using our current sports premium grant, and how we have used previous years' grants. - Sports Premium 2025-26 - Sports Premium 2024-25 - Sports Premium 2023-24 Sports premium 25-26 70 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/middlethorpe-2/files/documents/Reporting_PE_and_sport_premium_grant_expenditure.pdf) Reporting PE and sport premium grant expenditure - your funding allocation 56 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/middlethorpe-2/files/documents/Reporting_PE_and_sport_premium_grant_expenditure_-_your_funding_allocation(1).pdf) Reporting PE and sport premium grant expenditure - categories of grant spending 65 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/middlethorpe-2/files/documents/Reporting_PE_and_sport_premium_grant_expenditure_-_categories_of_grant_spending.pdf) Reporting PE and sport premium grant expenditure - opportunities, impacts and sustainability details 67 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/middlethorpe-2/files/documents/Reporting_PE_and_sport_premium_grant_expenditure_-_opportunities,_impacts_and_sustainability_details(1).pdf) Reporting PE and sport premium grant expenditure - your school's specifics 56 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/middlethorpe-2/files/documents/Reporting_PE_and_sport_premium_grant_expenditure_-_your_school-s_specifics.pdf) ### Sports Premium 23-24 Sports Premium 23-24 729 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/middlethorpe-2/files/documents/Sport_Premium_23_-_24(1).pdf) ### Important Information - [Ofsted Reports](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/ofsted) - [Ofsted Parent View](https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/) - [School Performance](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/school-performance) - [Key Stage Results](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/recent-results) - [Admissions](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/parents/admissions) - [Policies](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/policies) - [Pupil Premium](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/pupil-premium) - [Sports Premium](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/sports-premium) - [Child Protection & Safeguarding](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/our-school/child-protection-safeguarding) - [SEND & The Local Offer](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/send-the-local-offer) - [OPAL](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/statutory-information/opal) ![Middlethorpe Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/middlethorpe-2/images/logo/Middlethorpe_Primary_(1).png) ### Middlethorpe Primary Academy Highthorpe Crescent Cleethorpes DN35 9PY 01472 698185 ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/MiddlethorpeELT) © Copyright 2026 Middlethorpe Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://middlethorpeprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
